more tutoring blah blah blah
just when i start thinking (complaining) about what to do next with the tutoring company.....
the phone starts ringing off the hook. literally like 10 new clients have called in the last week. thats not usual at this point in the year. lots of middle school families.
i do zero advertising.
it is all referals.
the LO math department takes care of me.
the families that I tutor for take care of me.
friends take care of me.
overall, i guess it still confirms that i have to get more tutors working with me. so many new clients, and i still have no time in my schedule. so i have to give them to my tutors. still need tutors, but it is getting worked out. i will be working a lot in the next 2 months. lots of appointments, pnca, and taking care of tutors.
had the thought again of getting an office in LO. could do some tutoring out of that space, my tutors could tutor from that space, it is not far at all from any family in LO, and it would also provide an opportunity for me to do a lot more summer stuff with a lot more students and a lot more tutors. plus it would give me some visibility and owernership into downtown LO. i dunno. it is a lot of extra cash per month. not sure that i can swing it, or that it is going to generate that much new business, or that i can even track down enough tutors to fill the demand. i know they are out there....just have to find them.
found some tutors in the craziest of places recently. its good.
blessings blessings blessings.
p.s. how bad do i suck at with the CAPS at the beginning of sentences?

tutoring is actually a fairly major industry in india... the pressure to achieve and get good grades is so intense that usually from the age of 5 or 6 through age 18, all children/teens go to a tutor for all subjects from 6:00a-7:00a... and then again from 5:00p-6:00p. Tutors hold group tutoring sessions in their homes and make BANK. If the mother or 20-something member of the household does tutoring 5 days a week, the rest of the family doesn't have to work... Interesting. ~lk
